Have a real good tidy of the house,beds changed Xmas quilts,lol, later hubby delivers and collects presents, then, cosy fire TV ,chocs and nuts, kids go to bed then we sort out their pressies,place the smaller ones in a sack by their doors,bigger toys /stuff by the tree downstairs,sometimes if the next door neighbour is free to watch kids we go to midnight mass,which I love.Sometimes we spend it in NY with my brother,but not this year,maybe next.

I shall spend the day listening to classic FM that is for sure

I will mostly have everything done by Christmas Eve so it will pretty much be a nice Christmas film on the telly and then Carols from Kings interlaced with a nice walk and a hot toddy in front of the fire.

I've gone mad for hot ports lately mmmm not really a fan of whiskey

im excited about putting up the tree on Dec 1

:flutter:

A pint of Smoking Bishop for Niamh. And I think I'll join you....

I had to google that :laugh: I'm in though :hee:

I only knew what it was because it's mentioned in A Christmas Carol... had to Google it myself to make sure it had port in it! Sounds nice though...

Yeah sounds like mulled wine which is my favourite for Christmas day mmm

Normally work til around 12pm but its a Sunday this year (I think?) so hopefully deliver gifts in the morning then chill with Christmas movies, hot choc and all cosy with the fire and tree lights on :hee:

You've changed, I don't know you any more :idc:

Me during Comic Relief.

It's changed for me the last 2 years and this year I'm in the process of starting a move.
Work will keep me in the UK until Spring but my Mum now mostly occupies our new home to be in Ireland.

However she is coming back to the house here for Christmas and New year, so on Christmas Eve we will go to church,around 8pm as the Catholic churches here no longer do mass at midnight.

All of us.my Mum,Cousins and myself will have a meal and finish off decorating the tree with family memories.
Likely watch a favourite Christmassy film late afternoon, Home Alone 2 is one of my special faves.

After church,we will just have a few drinks chat,reminisce a fair bit.
At midnight my Mum and I usually open one gift each.
Then get some sleep until about 6am.

I've always loved that time of year however,whatever everyone else does I hope it is as special as ever.

Taking presents to f&f all day then pub at night usually. The local usually does a Christmas themed pub quiz where everyone must wear Xmas jumpers, brilliant.

My gran always stays on Christmas Eve

It's my birthday so i get as drunk as possible before the pub closes early

Just go for a few drinks with my mates

Literally do the same as every other night

OMG :joker:

Drinking cocktails cos im always on hols

Hopefully a take away with my family, my cousins and auntie usually come too. All the men go the pub.
